Fluids from the vehicles involved in the crash spilled onto the roadway causing slippery conditions. State police called for a state Department of Transportation sand truck to cover the materials before reopening the road.

Police opened the right lane about 7 a.m. and all lanes reopened about 7:25 a.m., but traffic on the highway and in downtown Hartford remained jammed during the morning commute.

The crash was reported about 5:45 a.m. State police said there were no injuries.
